This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Mary Sulewski-Jenkins, from Colts Neck, New Jersey
It is with great sadness that we are announcing the death of our loved one, Mary Sulewski Jenkins of Colts Neck, New Jersey and Harveys Lake, Pennsylvania. Mary passed away on Tuesday, November 8, 2016.
Mary was a wife, a mother, a sister, an aunt, and a best friend. She was the fourth daughter of Mary and Joseph (Happy) Sulewski. Mary was a graduate of Nanticoke High School class of 1962 and Bloomsburg State College in 1967. She taught business at Roselle Park High School in Roselle Park, New Jersey, until her retirement. In high school, Mary was a cheerleader for two years, one of which was when Nanticoke won the 1961 basketball state championship. Mary was an “equestrian mother,” traveling to many national horse shows in which her daughter Marisa participated. Mary was an animal lover. She loved telling stories about her dog Brandi and her two talking parrots- Elvis and Lovey. Her stories always put a smile on your face. Her garden was also a topic of conversation. She had more than a green thumb; she had eight green fingers. Mary not only stopped to smell the roses, she’d pick one and give it to you. Mary loved to travel and has been to unique parts of Asia and Europe, such as Thailand, Iceland, and Romania, as well as many other places. Most of all, she loved and cherished her daughter Marisa and husband of 42 years, Evan Jenkins. Their time together is a treasured memory, along with going to the Golden Oldies dances and doing the Polka and Jitterbug.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents and brothers-in-law D. Charles Davis, Eugene P. Ziemba, and Harold J. Jenkins.
She is survived by her husband Evan C. Jenkins and daughter Marisa Jenkins, her sisters Sylvia Ziemba, Arline Sulewski, Josephine Sulewski, Lucyle (Louey) Davis, and Zoni DeMarco. Also surviving are sisters-in-law Carol Painter and Rita and Judith Jenkins, and brothers-in-law Gerald Painter, Ron Jenkins, and Robert (Bob) DeMarco, along with many nieces and nephews.
Viewing will be held at Earl Lohman Funeral Home on East Green St. in Nanticoke on Sunday, November 13, from 3:00 – 6:00. The funeral will be Monday, November 14, at 12:00 at the funeral home with a Mass of Christian Burial at 12:30 at St. Faustina Church on Hanover St. in Nanticoke.
We will remember, Mary who was a wonderful Wife, Mother and Aunt forever! I am asking everyone who visits this Page to leave something behind for the next Guest. (forward this page to friends that you know) Share stories so her daughter Marisa can have a special place to always look at whenever she is missing her Mother and for Evan to come when he misses his wife. The stories and pictures will also bring happiness in the time of sadness.
Aunt Mary was full of life since the day she was born and I want this memorial to represent the life she lived and loved. Please contribute and leave a message, story, and pictures so we can keep celebrating her for years to come. She will never be forgotten but live in eternity through all of us.

I have so many wonderful memories of Mary, from the days of dancing the stroll at Hansons, singing "Shake a Hand"at the Irem, and to all the great family and friend parties out the Lake.
Mary was a warm, kind and generous person. She was a beautiful women on the outside and a caring, loving person on the inside. Mary will be missed deeply but her memory will be with Kline and me forever.
She always brought the greatest Christmas presents ( straight from NYC , no doubt ) looking fabulous in her mink.
I remember the year of the Cabbage Patch Kids craze when they were impossible to buy...yet here comes Aunt Mary with one for each of her nieces.
……and then one year she brought the greatest present of all… a real, live baby doll …her precious Marisa.
Aunt Mary had such wonderful stories and always knew the best places to go. I will miss her dearly.
My heart is warmed by the belief that a band of beloved angels greeted her in Heaven.

If i had to describe one word for Aunt Mary it would be FUN! She always would take your call and be full of energy to go somewhere and she never turned down shopping!
She was such a huge part of my life and I will miss her
Please share and make this memorial Great for her!!
Thank you,
Meredith Ziemba (her First Niece)

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
Our earthly loss is always a heavenly gain.
Although our hearts hurt & mourn in humanly pain,
The fact still remains the same
That Heaven Has Gained more Love
To sprinkle down from above. ~ Antonio Talbert ~
Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you, Marisa, and your family.
